Chapter 96: Do You Used to Love Reading Novels



Chapter 96

What\'s with that tone seeking praise!

Don\'t you find this advertisement embarrassing at all?

After the advertisement ended, the video call with Ling Quan resumed. Gu Wanyin immediately coughed lightly twice, then said seriously, "So, Miss Ling, my hotel has a large amount of supplies, you could say as much as you want, and the prices are very favorable. Your survival base has over 20,000 people, so your demand for supplies must be especially high. So, would you like to consider purchasing supplies from my hotel?"

Ling Quan\'s eyes flickered, but she didn\'t speak.

"Sister Ling, she must be lying, right?" The man called Zhuang De whispered in her ear. "How could a young girl like her run a hotel and have so many supplies? Even enough extra to sell to us?"

Ling Quan glanced at him and said coolly, "Years ago, people also said a young girl like me couldn\'t possibly manage a base."

Zhuang De rubbed his nose, a bit embarrassed. "Ah, well..."

However, Ling Quan also found it incredible.

She had gone through so many hardships to achieve what she had now.

But this girl...

She recalled the advertisement she had just seen, which showed not only a supermarket but also a cafeteria, noodle shops, hot pot restaurants, spicy soup shops, and more.

Life there seemed almost no different from before the apocalypse!

"I have a question," Ling Quan spoke again. "If I buy supplies, how will you deliver them? You just said Peace Hotel is very far from the survival base. Are you going to use a plane? Can you even fly a plane now?"

"That\'s not necessary," Gu Wanyin said with a smile. "Once you decide what supplies you need and make the payment, we have special channels to deliver the supplies to you."

"Pay first?"

"If you don\'t trust me, you can also pay after receiving the supplies," Gu Wanyin still smiled brightly. "However, if you refuse to pay then, the consequences will be very serious."

Looking at the girl with the radiant smile on the screen, Ling Quan instinctively felt she was telling the truth.

If she really had a large number of supplies and could deliver them through special channels, what couldn\'t she do?

"Let me think about it," Ling Quan said.

"Alright! If you want to check the list of supplies and prices, it will appear on your screen soon. You can view it directly. When you\'ve made your decision, just contact me using the screen on your end. Goodbye, Miss Ling!"

With that, the video call ended.

Ling Quan stood in front of the screen for a long time, not leaving.

An icon for the supply list had appeared on the screen.

Ling Quan clicked on it, and a table appeared on the screen, listing the names of products, followed by weights and prices.

Not only were there bread, instant noodles, mineral water, biscuits, canned food, self-heating hot pots, and so on, but also various alcoholic beverages, drinks, coffee, snacks, and even some daily necessities like towels, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, and toothbrushes.

Scrolling down, there were even all kinds of hot and cold dishes, rice noodles, spicy soup, river snail rice noodles, and more!

"She must be bluffing, right?" Zhuang De widened his eyes in disbelief. "Even if they really have things like rice noodles, how would they deliver them? Wouldn\'t they be cold and congealed by the time they arrive?"

"Don\'t speak for now," Ling Quan stared intently at the screen.

Continuing to scroll down, there were even all kinds of weapons listed!

However, it was clearly stated that the weapons could only be used against zombies and were ineffective against humans.

What caught Ling Quan\'s attention more was that the price for each item was listed in points.

Points... what were those?

At the bottom of the page, a line of text explained Ling Quan\'s confusion.

"Points can be exchanged for Crystal Cores, gold and silver jewelry, copper, iron, cloth, and various other normal items. Please note: Crystal Cores are the most valuable. One level 1 Crystal Core can be exchanged for 1,000 points, a level 2 Crystal Core for 2,000 points, a level 3 Crystal Core for 4,000 points, a level 4 Crystal Core for 8,000 points, and so on. For other items, the exchangeable points are determined by the item\'s value. For example: a 1.8g gold necklace can be exchanged for about 80 points."

Zhuang De, who was reading along with her, exclaimed, "Looking at the prices of those items at the beginning, they\'re not expensive! And Crystal Cores can be exchanged for so many points!"

"Indeed, they\'re not expensive," Ling Quan said.

In the apocalyptic world, the items on this list were extremely precious.

Just take a bottle of clean mineral water, for example. In their place, it might not be obtainable even for several Crystal Cores.

How could that girl have the confidence to sell at such low prices?

It seemed that her supplies might truly be very abundant, even... endless!

Endless?

Could it be...

"Wow, a level 4 Crystal Core can be exchanged for 8,000 points! That could buy so many things, Sister Ling!" Zhuang De exclaimed.

Ling Quan smiled faintly and said, "You think level 4 Crystal Cores are easy to get? Although every level 4 zombie definitely has a level 4 Crystal Core in its body, would you dare to face off against a level 4 zombie alone?"

Zhuang De was taken aback. "Well... of course not..."

Although he was a level 4 Ability User, zombies were much more ferocious than Ability Users.

He would have to think twice even about fighting a level 2 zombie.

That\'s just how this world was.

So, thinking about it, although Crystal Cores could be exchanged for many points, except for level 1 Crystal Cores, the others weren\'t so easy to obtain.

"So what do we do now? Sister Ling, if all the supplies on this list are real, we must buy them!" Zhuang De rubbed his hands together. "But I still can\'t believe it... However, this screen did suddenly appear, which proves that girl has some kind of supernatural ability."

"I have an idea," Ling Quan said.

"What idea?"

"Did you used to like reading novels?" Ling Quan didn\'t answer him directly, but asked instead.

Zhuang De scratched his head and said, "You know I used to be a corporate slave, working overtime until midnight every day. I\'d fall asleep as soon as I got home. Where would I find time to read novels?"

"I\'ve read a few," Ling Quan said.

That was when she went to her cousin\'s house and saw a few novels on the coffee table. She picked them up and flipped through them.

She didn\'t finish reading them, but in the beginning of those novels, the female protagonists all bound themselves to some kind of system, or had various types of spaces.

In the novels, the systems and spaces couldn\'t be seen by others. Only the female protagonists who were bound to them could interact with them.

Just now, when she realized that the supplies in Peace Hotel might be endless, she immediately thought of these systems and spaces.
